executive functions	It was measured by behavior rating inventory of executive function. it consists of 75 items that are measured on a 5-point Likert scale. subscales include inhibition, shift, emotional control, self-monitoring, initiation, working memory, planning/organization, task monitoring and organization of materials. min and max scores are 0 and 150. respectively. the higher scores indicate problems in executive functions.	1 month

It consists of the sub-scales of washing, controlling, doubting, ordering, obsession, hoarding, and neutralizing. the higher scores are probably an indicator of obsessive-compulsive disorder.	1 month
